Psychology is
about people's behavior and about people's experience. Psychologists teach and do research or applied work on subjects relating to the
social and behavioral sciences. In order to discover more about behavior,
psychologists study both humans and animals. Psychology covers a wide range of
topics, from the way our social environment influences us to the inner workings
of our bodies. This diversity of topics is reflected in the psychology
curriculum.

The Department of
Psychology sees its mission as offering a solid foundation in the theories and
scientific methods of psychology to diverse and nontraditional students who
choose to study Psychology at the undergraduate and graduate level. The
department offers courses in aspects of the empirical knowledge base of
scientific psychology and applied psychology for psychology majors and graduate
students. Furthermore, the department helps meet the needs of those studying
other subjects, such as Human Services majors, Liberal Studies majors, people
minoring in Psychology, and other individuals. The department sees its mission
as offering these educational experiences within a framework which values and
encourages diversity. Within this broad mission, the department develops,
evaluates, and alters, as needed, a set of specific goals and objectives for
the psychology major.

The department
publishes its goals and objectives for all Psychology students to review. It
also engages in an ongoing Outcomes Assessment program to evaluate its success
in achieving these goals and objectives. Psychology majors are required to
participate in the Outcomes Assessment program in order to evaluate both the
effectiveness of the department and student competencies.

Features

At the undergraduate level, the Department of Psychology provides
opportunity for the study of three different aspects of the field. For students
interested in the research and scientific aspects, courses on the application
of the scientific method to the study of human and animal behavior are offered.
For those with applied interests, courses relating to counseling, clinical
psychology, health psychology and behavioral medicine, industrial and
organizational psychology, computers, and service in community agencies are
offered. For students with a general interest in psychology, many courses provide
knowledge that is useful in understanding one's self and in understanding and
relating to others effectively.

Requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology can be completed by attending class during the
day or evening hours. At present, it may take six or more semesters to complete
the upper division courses in the evening.

Academic Advisement

The
Psychology
Department
Sears
Center
in SBS B-241B and the faculty provide advising for the psychology major, minor,
and electives as well as General Education advisement for psychology majors.

Students who are
contemplating or have decided upon a major or minor in psychology or who have
an interest in taking psychology courses as electives should see an advisor in
the
Psychology
Department
Sears
Center
at their first opportunity. It is in each student's best interest to see a peer
advisor at least once a semester and to keep his or her files in the
Sears
Center
up to date.

Preparation

High school
students are encouraged to take four years of English and three years of
mathematics including algebra. Courses in biology and psychology and the other
social and behavioral sciences are recommended. Knowledge of computers is
helpful for some courses.

Transfer students
should contact their counseling center or advisor to identify appropriate lower
division major/minor preparatory courses. Whenever possible, transfer students
who do not plan to transfer until their junior year should take the lower
division equivalents of PSY 101, PSY 230, and PSY 235.

Career Possibilities

In addition to
preparing students for graduate study in psychology and other professions, an
undergraduate degree can lead directly to employment in business and industry,
education, counseling, human services, and several other areas.

Psychology courses
also can be used to develop and strengthen adaptive or intellectual skills, and
add to students' knowledge base and facilitate development of behavioral traits
and attitudes linked to career success. The adaptive skills that are most
directly fostered within the psychology curriculum are: interpersonal and human
relations skills, thinking and problem solving skills, communication skills.

Psychology is an
excellent major or minor for students who are interested in careers in
management, communication, marketing or other positions that require
understanding of human behavior and human interactions. Many students who are
interested in careers in law or medicine choose a psychology degree for their
undergraduate major. The psychology degree is pursued by many students who wish
to engage in graduate study in psychology at the master's or doctoral degree
level as preparation for careers in mental health, psychological research, industrial
and organizational psychology and college
teaching. Additional competencies recommended for the major include computer
literacy and a second language.

Student Organizations

The department has
a chapter of Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for Psychology, a Psychology
Club, and numerous opportunities for student involvement in research and
service.
